Hatch rebuild

The hatch is dismantled.

The Perspex is, as previously mentioned, a rather unusual purple colour


although the colour doesn't show that well in the picture. What does show better is the crack... I have pretty much decided to replace the Perspex.


The frame onto which the Perspex mounts is also dismantled, and is now in four parts ready for cleaning and reassembly


Each part has a layer of rubberised sealant on it, which is 'challenging' to remove!


And one of the parts split slightly, and needs a little repair... Here are pics as being glued back up


And after a bit of a clean up


Next will be the varnish removal and reassembly before varnishing and refitting the Perspex... Pics to come

(Better on the picture front Myron?)
